Entitled neighbor moves boundary stake into homeowner's property, who demands formal assessment from town office, leading to neighborly dispute: ‘He's trying to expand his property for free’

Becoming a homeowner is a scary step that most people never feel entirely ready for, and that is valid. There are a lot of life-altering decisions one has to make when they purchase something as meaningful as a house, and that can be quite daunting. 

So here is one lesson everyone should take note of before buying their first property–always get a formal assessment of your property borders, and make sure it is permanently marked so no one can ever change it on a whim.

That is exactly the lesson the homeowner in the story below learned following this neighborly dispute. They woke up one morning to find a boundary stake had moved into their property, giving their neighbor more land. They immediately turned to the town office, which issued a formal assessment to determine where exactly each property starts and ends. 

The results took this homeowner by surprise, which will surely lead them to take the appropriate measures to ensure that it never happens again. Keep scrolling to read the full tale.
